Frosty Morn Ham - Starring The Singing Pigs!

"Sing it over and over and over again..." Another classic early-to-mid 1960's TV commercial created by Noble Dury & Associates, Nashville, Tennessee.

(I wonder if the pigs really knew what they were singing about!)

Thanks, Danny.

Another jingle from my Nashville childhood, it sticks in one's brain like bubble gum. But the imagery revisited in adulthood is troubling. These cartoon piglets are celebrating being slaughtered, pumped with sugar and gassed with hickory smoke. Not only that, but they are parading around in ecstasy with a hind part of one of their comrades who has not only been butchered, sugar cured and hickory smoked, but also wrapped in a celebratory shroud to be sold and eaten with guileless relish. Tasty!

@robmarais What a well written comment! And of course, I felt the same way, but couldn't articulate it as well as you did! Thanks...

who ever wrote the jingle must have had cruel mind!

The jingle writer left out the part about each cartoon piggy catching a metal bolt to the skull, followed by having its throat slit so the blood can drain out, etc....

I loved the suicide food blogpost.  such sheer unbridled lunacy going on here.

Camp Lejeune Mar '65, turned on the RCA black and white, anthropomorphic pigs singing and dancing... I knew what Easter ham to eat. OORAH!

Jesus Christ. Suicide food blogpost brought me here. I wish it hadn't. That is so disturbing.

That's the same as a human being glad that his dad's in a body bag!
